TOZ's Oathbreakers Die (Inactive)

Game Master TriOmegaZero

Unfortunately, the devs clarified that was not the intent here.

So... turns out, I never got around to buying a ranged weapon for Hskomoro. And these guys are immune to mind-affecting.

I'm going to "protect Daenerija", probably, and see if Red comes after me or Plague Hunter.

@GMTOZ: Apropos of nothing, I've been curious: Where/why did you dub yourself "TriOmegaZero"?

Needed a new username back when the internet took off that wasn’t just my legal name. So I mashed up some references.

Forgot to note, the green fungus is prone as well thanks to that failed Reflex.

I am put in mind of Flumphs and their old "tipping over" vulnerability....

My apologies for disappearing. I thought I messaged everyone, but it seems a few groups were missed. Work very suddenly junked out on me and I couldn’t get online for awhile. Still can’t get online regularly for at least another week or so, and even then I have no idea if the breaks at my new posting will be enough to get back into gaming.

No worries, I will leave Naomi off the reporting so you can still play the scenario in the future.

Having assessed the situation, Berix sheaths his sword, goes further north, taking out his bow on the move and briefly whistles to the cat, which obediently follows him.

Berix would not have thrown down his sword. I'm sorry, apparently there was an error with the number of actions, I may have confused the editions. I suggest to retcon 11 damage for the shot I made on the first turn, when I sheathed my sword, moved/took out my bow and fired an arrow (obviously I didn't shoot).

Understood, I'll get the tracker updated. Apologies for not confirming it in discussion before!

Thanks!

Sorry about going missing like that. Everyone was at range, and me without a bow... then I forgot to check in after a few days.

No worries. I’m just glad that this scenario didn’t claim another vishkanya.

"Nagagi, pleasse. I don't do that tongue thing."

Nah, Daenerija was about to take four attacks that each deal 1d4 Str and Con damage on a failed save. Bad dice are how my vishkanya died here.

I just dodged a bullet then.

*raises an eyebrow*

"'Tongue thing'? Ooh-la-la, tell me more...!"

Regarding a bow, remember if you didn't already know: Get an otherwise-baseline masterwork composite bow, then give it the Adaptive enchantment!

Going that far probably isn't necessary for Hskomoro. 2PP or 700gp gives a +3 Str bow, while your adaptive bow would cost 3400gp for... two extra damage on a backup weapon.

Could be useful to hand off to a high Str character without a ranged weapon in the future, but that is pricey for such a limited use. Swarmbane clasp is usually more relevant.

My Cleric did make a similar choice: She bought an adamantine longsword partly with the expectation of lending it out to others - and to date, she has had at least one occasion to do so!

Anybody who can't beat an existing roll would do best to roll to aid another (unless there's some way a sheer 'number of successes' can accomplish something, I suppose).

Anyway, who wants the Boots?

If nobody else wants them, Hskomoro can take them. I'm not expecting to get a lot of use out of them in the sewers, but eh.

EDIT: Also found out why I hadn't bought a bow for Hskomoro yet. Turns out, he's not proficient with them.

What are the trapezoidal shapes on the map? Like the one directly across from the door, or the one past Green?

Also, Hskomoro will obviously AoO Green if he decides to not step away.

I believe they are ladders on the flipmat, but they were not included in the scenario. I wasn't able to block them out like the unused doors.

I thought maybe ladders, but didn't see anything in the room description. Are those squares blocking terrain, or not?

They are not mentioned in the scenario and do not exist.

The blue vested assassin cries out in pain as Beryx skewers him, thrashing to avoid the claws of Plague Hunter.

[dice=Red on Daenerija]1d20

On the far side of the room, Akkina's foe steps back, taking a wild shot at Daererija in desperation before shoving open the door behind him.

Akkina is up!

@GM: I think Red was 10' from Daenerija; when you say 'taking a wild shot' do you mean with a crossbow or thrown dagger? did it trigger an AoO from Akkina? thx!

Does Akkina have step up to follow the 5ft step? They have composite longbows and rapiers.

No. I wasn't sure if Red took a shot while next to Akkina or after the 5ft. I wasn't sure if they were shooting or trying to hit via the Lunge feat with a melee weapon or something.

Basically you're saying Red 5 ft. stepped, shot his bow and opened the door yes?

"Akkina's foe 1steps back, 2taking a wild shot....before 3shoving open the door"

1- 5ft step 2- Standard action attack with longbow 3- Move action to open the door.

Red wasn't able to draw his rapier after moving to take his invisible shot, and then his flank was denied, forcing him to change plans.

Fellow players, I am now torn; should I try to help the Super Nagaji Siblings over here with their guy, or Akkina with the runner?

"Nobody esscapess to warn the resst."

Green falls without even a chance to respond!

Hskomoro shrugs. "Talking iss a free action. Maybe the otherss will take note."

The one guy was already noting exits!

As the blood paints the walls, the last assassin steps into the other room and slams the door shut!

Well, if he 5' stepped into the room, he can't have moved away from the door. So if you can get the door open, he's right there.

"If" indeed!

"Surrender IS death in Daggermark." the man spits back.

5 Red (Damage: 5, Shaken)

"That may be sso... but ssuccceeding at that check fulfillss the condition for one of my boonss. With that and your refussal, I have little usse for you now."

Akkina, I forget exactly how it's done (having never bothered with them myself), but do you have any plans for learning to do the sawtooth sabre's signature bleed-damage trick?

"Yroh! It's been a husk's age, how ya' been?! How's the catering up north lately?"

Are the squared-off (possibly barrel-like?) shapes anything, or are they too just artifacts of the map pack? One of them could affect our positioning.

...anyone have a scroll of hold portal?

Four trunks are scattered around this room, each built in a different style. Broken lockpicks litter the floor in front of each trunk.

Okay, didn't check the door placement but it doesn't make much difference. We'll pretend the door is on this side of the 5ft hall.

I assume they were shooting us with actual bows of some kind, rather than, say, hand crossbows?

What kind of melee weapons?

Composite longbows and rapiers, non magical. The longbows are masterwork at least.

Do they have a STR modifier?

No.

I will be out this weekend for a funereal, but look forward to wrapping things up this month.

Say hello to the leader of the Ghostknives! If ol' Illchok got away to warn them of your interference, you would have found his body here in the hideout as an example of the price of failure.

Edit: wow! that one can hide! 42!? you sure this is low tier?

How long have you been under the impression that this was low tier?

We got 3s and 4s, no way we could average low.

uh... I meant tier 3-4... that is freaggin' high stealth for tier 3-4, just sayin'...
